Thank you Maryam for everything

I retained maryam to step in last minute to handle a trial for me on a complex divorce case where I had to fire my attorney last minute. Every possible issue was litigated in my case and this was a high conflict case between me and my ex. With only two weeks to prepare she was amazingly over prepared, confident and aggressive and did a great job. I was really impressed. She was available immediately by phone or email and never hesitated to give 100%. She was very professional in court as well. I would not hesitate to recommend maryam to anyone. She truly was a blessing.

An excellent attorney and an even better person!

Ms. Atighechi combines both consummate professionalism and tremendous compassion in her dealings with me. Her legal advice, concern for the welfare of me and my daughter, and moral support have made this unfortunate process of divorce much easier than it otherwise would have been. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a family law attorney!
